The latest celeb to sign up to take on the ballroom dance floor has been announced as Hollyoaks’ Danny Mac.

After four years in the hit soap the actor, who played Dodger, is now readying himself to have a go at the glitter ball.

‘I’m as terrified as I am excited!’ he said. ‘I’ve done a few bits and bobs of secret filming for the show and it’s all become very real now. I can’t believe that I am now part of the biggest show on television and I cannot wait to get started.’

Danny Mac starred in Hollyoaks for four years

Even if he’s rubbish at dancing he’ll probably still earn himself a few votes from admiring viewers – he was voted three times as Soap’s Sexiest Man at the Inside Soap Awards, and twice Sexiest Male at the British Soap Awards.

He’s the seventh celeb to be named, alongside Ed Balls, Will Young, Laura Whitmore, Ore Oduba, Melvin Odoom and Louise Redknapp who have already been announced as contestants for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing. There are still a few more names to come.
